Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently during the growing season, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches anytime. Light pruning after flowering can promote more blooms.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Rooting hormone can improve success rates. Seeds can also be sown.
Repot young plants annually or when root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.
